Post Office Passport
School holidays in Australia, can mean lengthy car trips with children to either go and visit interstate relatives or simply go on hollers to the beach ~
I thought it may therefore, be a good time to share an idea put to me by a Post Office owner who I met at a Trade Fair. She was telling me how each Post Office has its own individual rubber-stamp specific to their location.
There’s a great travelling eye spy game to be had here!
Children must have eyes peeled on a car journey to spot the red Australia Post Office symbol. Armed with either a Map Journal or Mail-It Map for using as their ‘Post Office Passport’ the children go into the Post Office to ask may they have their map uniquely stamped in one of the surrounding (jotting) boxes.
Eye Spy with my little eye a red & white Australia Post Sign!
Keeps the children occupied en route, gives a sense of purpose during pit stops and what a fun visual memento of every car trip having a map surrounded by rubber stamps commemorating all the places they have been
A great travelling game whether going on a long trip, short trip or even popping to the shops!

So how many post offices are there in Australia? Does Aust Post have an official count?

Australia Post only states that there are 1,700 outlets that act as Passport Agencies – As not all POs offer this service I would estimate there must be about 5,000 across the country?
